cutting adhesive vinyl - Craft Robo CC330-20

[Will144]

Hi. I want to draw my own cartoon characters. Does the software allow you to do that? If not is there another software I can get? thanks

Does that cut normal vinyl, like a proper vinyl cutter or is it just t-shirt vinyl?

You dont seem to be using the special mat with the Robo it that possible with all card stock /paper ect Thanks

@2454704604 - with the vinyl you are only cutting thru the vinyl not the backing paper - leaving no loose bits flying round (jamming up the machine)

with card stock - you are cutting thru the entire card and thus you wind up with free parts jamming up the machine! that's why you stick it to the carrier sheet first! :)

thanks for the fast reply mate!

hey,

would you recommend the cc330-20 for making prints for a t-shirt?

[monriandmuzu]

Yes, it is an excellent equipment to cut transfer-vinyl for t-shirts, hats, jeans etc... In this case you need to buy the special vinyl for transfer (special vinyl with polyester film as base) and of course you do need the heating press too.

would you recommend this? is the software included alright?

[monriandmuzu]

It is a very good machine in my oppinion. The original software is fine to create basic drawings like texts and primitive shapes like circles, ellipse, box, lines etc (ROBO CRAFT). Besides in the original CD you can also find the generic windows drivers, and with it you can plot from any software such Illustrator, CorelDraw, Autocad etc.. like a normal printer.

Other good machine is the SECABO Mini. The characteristics are almost the same but this one is a bit faster. I reccomend it too.

I would like to make some really small paint masks using this machine. What is the smallest letter size it is able to cut?

Thanks in advance.

[monriandmuzu]

well, it should depend of the material quality. I believe that you can make letters with 7mm. For smaller sizes i would recommend the roland machines... mainly the "CAMM" series.
